Author's note

Wonky Typewriter by Giles Edkins is a free hand-drawn display font with rough, irregular letterforms and a deliberately unsteady silhouette. Stroke widths change abruptly, and the edges look cut or scrawled rather than mechanically printed. The crooked forms feel immediate and unpolished.

It can turn small-batch food or craft packaging into a handmade mark. The loose construction also suits music posters and album artwork, where its scratchy shapes can echo collage, marker drawing, or photocopied textures. Children's publishing and activity materials offer another useful setting for lettering that looks scrawled directly in ink onto the page rather than carefully typeset.
